2001: A Space Odyssey Turns 50!

HAL 9000, the main antagonist in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, became operational on January 12, 1999 at HAL Laboratories in Illinois, which would make HAL 19 years old. The film itself, however, debuted in theaters 50 years ago this week, and we celebrate the anniversary with his brilliant 2001 remix by Eclectic Method.
